#AltanLore (with hint of #IliiLore): When the two use the crystal & key together, Altannamar doesn't so much fade ethereally as much flash-bang onlookers as his body seems to both arken & brighten at the same time.

Overpoweringly so, as if his silhouette underwent a total solar eclipse. A blinding-

#IliiLore: When viewed from the outside, Iliira reaches out to an unseen point in the air.

Upon supposedly touching the unseen point, her body dissipates into a swarm of glowing amber motes like embers or fireflies, which collectively swirl around in the air & fly straight into the singular point-

#IliiLore: Game finally reading my mind over a nice fantasy glam to give Ilii.

I'll definitely have to use pieces of it for post-EC since I already got her main glams for base expac all finalized.

#AltanLore, #IliiLore: He was the only one of my OCs who accompanied Iliira to the Fourth.

The thing that makes Altannamar's case special is the connection his Ancient incarnation, Odysseus, shared with Calliope. Being that he was a Word of Azem; hell, Calliope's FIRST Word, at that.

As such, he-

#IliiLore: Iliira's curse is to stuck into ships with the most unlikely individuals for such a scrappy little Lalafell.

Whether it's her (currently on hiatus) ship with Gilgamesh, #BridgingTheGap, or her still unnamed ship with Bakool Ja Ja, Iliira can't have a normal WoLship to save her life.

#IliiLore: Ehhh, not that impressed with her color.

Not even really what I'd call, "peachy." It's more so...White skin-looking. White flesh.

While compassionate & polite, I'd hardly call Ilii, "refined." Gentle & soft with a strong core, sure! But she's kinda a scruffy ugly duckling type.

#IliiLore: True to her country mouse nature, Iliira's not that tech-savvy.

Basic Ironworks appliances are all well & good. She can set a watch or turn on a coffee maker, & with some practice, she's learned the basics of using a computer.

But warmachina & more advanced tech? She's hopeless.-

#IliiLore: She can handle a spider no problem. Nothing a simple paper & cup maneuver can't cure. She likes spiders, they're neat!

She can get spooked by sudden spiders that appear randomly (especially in the bath), but that'd be the case for ANY tiny skittery thing. Not arachnophobia-specific.

#IliiLore: 100 bottles of diet coke.

While I can see Iliira finding carbonated beverages to be an acquired taste (erring more along the lines of carbonated fruit juices/sparking ciders than regular soda), that would be pushing it.

What's she going to do with all that aspartame? Help her.

#IliiLore: Internally, she would ask if such & such was going to eat their pickle...if it's dill. Sweet gherkins are gross.

But not out loud because she doesn't want to be annoying. Accidental🥺over a pickle, poor thing...

#IliiLore: Direct opposites between the two.

Iliira considers Urianger her closest friend amongst the Scions. As a sprout, something about his ethereal demeanor & fancy speech patterns enchanted her, even when he was still wearing that baggy potato sack robe.

In spite of her nerves around her-

#IliiLore: This would be torture porn for Iliira. Like Hell, would she ever let that man into her body again.

If anything, that would probably end up triggering her into suicide. Rather than risk Zenos using her to harm her loved ones again, even if that's no longer his plan.
